Boba Smoothie Serving and Storage
Smoothies should be served and enjoyed immediately after making. Cooked boba pearls should always be consumed within 8-10 hours of being cooked. On their own, boba pearls need to be kept at room temperature or even a bit warmer, if possible. Do not store boba pearls in the refrigerator or freezer!
